Choosing Yourself: Authenticity, Attachment, and the Quiet Work of Healing

In this solo episode, therapist and host, Malisa Hepner, reflects on the subtle but profound ways grief continues to shape her inner world—especially in relationships. She shares why she chose to shift the format of her podcast, honoring authenticity, capacity, and self-care over expectation. She explores attachment patterns, independence, and the emotional responses that surface when grief meets intimacy. This conversation names the often-overlooked micro losses of grief—the small, daily moments that remind us of what's changed—and underscores the importance of community, self-honesty, and compassion as ongoing companions on the healing path.

Notice where you are asking yourself to "push through" instead of listening in. Today, choose one small act of self-trust—whether that's changing a plan, naming a feeling out loud, or letting yourself need support—and remind yourself that healing isn't about doing more, but about being more honest with where you actually are. Where are you imposing expectations on yourself around a label you never needed to carry in the first place? Shed that shit.
